How do you exclude properties from binding when calling UpdateModel()?

Question

I have a view model sent to the edit action of my controller. The ViewModel contains references to EntityObjects. (yea i\'m fine with it and don\'t need to want to duplicate

Answer 1

A very simple solution that I figured out.

 try
{
   UpdateModel(model, String.Empty, null, excludeProperties);
   ModelState.Remove("Entity.RetainedEarningsAccount.AccountNo");
   ModelState.Remove("Property.DiscountEarnedAccount.ExpenseCodeValue");
   ModelState.Remove("Entity.EntityAlternate.EntityID");
   ModelState.Remove("Property.BankAccount.BankAccountID");
   ModelState.Remove("Entity.PLSummaryAccount.AccountNo");
   ModelState.Remove("Property.RefundBank.BankAccountID");
   ModelState.Remove("ompany.Transmitter.TCC");

    if (ModelState.IsValid)
    {
       //db.SaveChanges();
    }
       return RedirectToAction("Index");
}
catch
{
    return View(model);
}
